[Chorus: Buckshot]
Told to break yourself, don't talk, save your breath
Told to break yourself, don't talk, save your breath
Elevens in progress, progress, suckers gotta—
Told to break yourself, don't talk, save your breath
[Verse 1: Mallrat]
Oh, the light on the rain, on the pavement
I don't mind, I'm on my way, you're my favourite
And your light hit my face like a straight right
Walkin' slow to your place in a straight line
[Verse 2: Mallrat]
Oh, the light, and the rain, and now you're drivin'
Watch the raindrop shadow race along my thigh
And like a spell that you cast, I'm a goner
There's so much I haven't said yet but I wanna
[Pre-Chorus: Tim Nelson]
I'm going through something new
To keep you by my side
Maybe another night
[Chorus: Buckshot]
Told to break yourself, don't talk, save your breath
Told to break yourself, don't talk, save your breath
Elevens in progress, progress, suckers gotta—
Told to break yourself, don't talk, save your breath
[Verse 3: Mallrat]
Oh, your light is too bright for a picture
I've got angels and I wanna share them with ya
And they pour water down from a big sky
Now there's rain on the pavement under streetlights
[Verse 4: Mallrat]
Oh, the light on the rain, on the pavement
Time to pour out all the love that I've been savin'
Like a spell that you cast, I'm a goner
There's so much I haven't said yet but I wanna
[Pre-Chorus: Tim Nelson]
I'm going through something new
To keep you by my side
Maybe another night
[Chorus: Buckshot]
Told to break yourself, don't talk, save your breath
Told to break yourself, don't talk, save your breath
Elevens in progress, progress, suckers gotta—
Told to break yourself, don't talk, save your breath
[Outro: Tim Nelson & Buckshot]
Told to break yourself, don't talk, save your breath (I'm going through something new)
Told to break yourself, don't talk, save your breath
Elevens in progress, progress, sucker's gotta— (To keep you by my side)
Told to break yourself, don't talk, save your breath (Maybe another night)
Pavement was written by Mallrat & Styalz Fuego & Buddy Ross & Tim Nelson (AUS).
Pavement was produced by Styalz Fuego & Buddy Ross.
I wrote the first seed of the idea when I was walking home in the rain with my friends. The line ‘Oh, the light on the rain, on the pavement’ was sitting in my phone for a little bit. I wrote the verses and the hum melody with Buddy Ross, and then I left certain sections blank because I wasn’t sure...
